NEW SPRING MILLINERY,
Our entire line of Spring Millinery is now in.
It is the newest, and prettiest by all odds ever
shown in Barnesviile. Mrs. Mills and myself have
been very careful and exactining in our selections.
And from the stocks of all the first class whole
salers, we have culled the choicest and nobbiest.
Spring productions in Hats, Ribbons and Flow
ers have always been attractive and bright, but this
season seems to have out done all. Now in
order to get a hat that will make every lady ask,
“Where did you get that hat! ” you will have to
come here. We intend to lead as we have always
done with the up to-date things in Ladies Under
wear, leaving others to follow and imitate if they
can.
EMBROIDERIES AND LACES.
We sold out everything in these goods last sum
mer, after duplicating several times. So there is
nothing but new arrivals to pick from. We hold
to our well earned reputation of being headquar
ters for Embroideries and Laces.
DRY GOODS AND NOTIONS.
Our first order of Dry Goods and Notions
went down at sea in the great February storm, so
urgent were the demands of the Mermaids that they
took all of our fashions freaks to wrangle over in
the Caverns of a “Hundred Fathoms deep.” Yet
their gain is notour loss,for they have been dupli
cated in every item by newer and later designs.
Old Boreas has blowed his blow and spring is
on us. Come and let us show you through.

BARNESVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, MARCH 9,1899.
THIRD ANNIVERSARY
HR. BRITTAIN' RECEIVES MANY
CONGRATULATIONS.
Dr. J. M. Brittain, pastor of the
Baptist church of Barnesville. has
heard many kind expressions during
the past few days, expressions of love
and confidence and esteem. Three
years ago he came to Barnesville with
his family, and began his labors. His
Godly walk and conversation, his
sympathetic, loving heart, and his
work as a preacher and pastor, have
endeared him to the membership of
the Baptist church and also to the
entire citizenship of the little city.
It was very timely and appropriate
therefore that his third anniversary as
pastor here should be celebrated.
Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock at
the Baptist church a special service
was held, to which the people of all
the denominations of the city were
invited. There was a large congre
gation present and it was an enthusi
astic meeting. Members ot all the
churches were present in represent!
tive numbers and throughout the
meeting was-harmenious, and brother
ly love and the sweetest Christian
fellowship were manifested by the
entire congregation. It was indeed
good to be there and the service was
one of great pleasure.
The following program shows the
order of the service and it was unusu
ally interesting:
Reading Scriptutes by pastor.
Two ten minute talks as follows:
(a) The Necessity of Personal Work
by all the Members.—Dr. T.J. Watts.
(b) The Importance of attending all
church services by all the members.—
Dr. J. P. Thurman.
Vocal Solo—Miss Mary Lovelace.
Three ten minute talks as follows:
(a) Regular, systematic contributions
from all the members essential to the
successful management of church
finances—B. H. Hardy. (b)Thorough,
cheerful co-operation of all the mem
bers indispensably necessary to secure
the best pastoral success.—Rev. W.
S. Stevens, (c) Brotherly love, the
binding force that links together
Christ’s disciples in beautiful har
mony.—Rev. Rolfe Hunt.
Two five minute talks as follows:
How necessary our pastors are and
how we may be helpful to them.—
Maj. J. T. Hunt and LI. M. Fletcher.
While singing hand-shaking, wish
ing each other happiness in Christ's
service, and covenanting together to
pray earnestly and labor diligently for
greater consecration, that we may be
more efficient laborers in the Lord's
Vineyard.
A “BUFFET LUNCHEON.”
Monday afternbon a “Buffet Lun
cheon” was given by the Ladies’ Mite
Society of the Baptist church at the
beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. J. L.
Kennedy, complimentary to Dr. and
Mrs. J. M. Brittain. It was a delight
ful event. There were present only
members of the society and the dea
cons of the church, with their wives,
(those who have them.)
Everybody present seemed to be
in the happiest humor and joined
heartily in the spirit of the purpose
of the gathering.
After instrumental music by Mrs.
S. P. Neely, Mrs. B. M. Turner, pres
ident of the society, read the follow
ing beautiful paper. Addressing Dr.
and Mrs. Brittain, she said:
“In behalf of the ladies of the Mite
Society I want to say that this occa
sion is intended to bespeak our love
for, and appreciation of you.
To you, Dr. Brittain, I wish to say
that during the three years in which
you have been pastor of the Barnes
viile Baptist church, you have led its
membership in green pastures and
beside still waters.
Your care for your people has been
constant, loving and tender. Our sor
rows have been your sorrows, our
joys your joys.
When the hand of affliction has
been laid upon us or our loved ones
your visits and your prayers have
comforted us.
When Death has entered homes
and taken loved ones away, it was
the pastor who came with words of
comfort and heart of sympathy.
In times of prosperity and success
you have rejoiced with those who had
cause to rejoice.
More than all this, you have bro
ken to us the bread of life. It has
been your constant effort to lead us
onward to higher and holier Chris
tian living. .
Your faithful service to us as a so
ciety, I want to assure you, is highly
appreciated by each of its members.
You have come through cold and
I rain and heat to serve us. Your
prayers with us and for us have
touched our hearts and permeated our
lives. You have directed, encouraged
and helped us in our work.
You, Mrs. Brittain, have been a
faithful co-laborer and an indispensa
ble part of our organization.
You have been to us as the rose to
the summer or the violet to winter—
ever bringing joy and pleasure with
you.
Asa friend, neighbor and Chris
tian, you have been helpful, kind and
true.
To both of you may the future be
full of the glad sunshine of life, and
when called upon to go up higher
may you feel that like Paul you have
fought a good fight and have kept
the faith.”
Other pleasant features of this part
ot the afternoon were a song by Mrs.
J. L. Kennedy and Mrs. W. C. Jen
kins, a talk by Dr. T. J. Watts and
instrumental music by Mrs. Mae
Prout.
Dr. Brittain was called upon and
responded in a very appropriate talk.
He said he was*overwhelmed at the
kindness shown him and he wanted
to thank all concerned. He spoke
of his coming to Barnesville and of
his labors here. He said he wanted
to see an ideal church and an ideal
pastor. He wanted his church to do
better work in all lines in the future
and he promised to do all that he
could, asking continued co-operation
on the part of the entire membership.
In a contest over a series of Bible
questions Judge W. A. Prout was
awarded the prize, answering twenty
four questions correctly out of thirty
one.
The refreshments served were el
egant and delightful, consisting of
turkey and salad, ambrosia, gelatine
and cakes, chocolate and coffee.
The “Buffet Luncheon” was decid
edly successful and will long be re
membered by every one present.
Mrs. Kennedy was assisted in enter
taining by Mrs. W. A. Prout, Mrs.
Mae Prout, Mrs. S. P. Neely, Mrs.
W. C. Jenkins and Mrs. J. R. Jen
kins.

Chautauqua Directors to Meet.
The directors of the Barnesviile

spring to and shut them off from all the
bright hopes they labored for.
A sick man cannot be happy; he cannot
accomplish the work he has to do in this
world; he loses the very money he is striv
ing; for ; his ambition defeats itself. Any
man who discovers that his strength and
energy are giving way has an unfailing
means of regaining his physical health and
stamina in the simple yet all-potent restor
ative power of tnat wonderful " Golden
Medical Discovery ” originated by Dr. R. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo. N. Y., the world-famous
specialist in diseases of the nutritive or
ganism.
Among th thousands who have consulted him
bv mail the case of Mr. Newton B. Blake, of
Tiplersville, Tippah Cos., Mis*., as shown in the
following letter indicates the remarkable efficacy
of his treatment : "In December 1895 niv health
began to fail. I tried many different kinds of
medicines and the more I took the worse the dis
ease grew. Finally in April when I wr.s busy
with the farm work iny health got so bad that I
could not hold out to work one hour. My breath
became short and I was weak and nervous, and
oftentimes would spit blood. I was unable to
work. I tried one of the doctors in the vicinity
but failed to obtain relief. I seemed to grow
worse My father received a book from Dr.
Pierce in which I read of a case similar to mine,
and decided to write to Dr. Pierce. He recom
mended me to take Ills • Golden Medical Discov
ery.’ AfteT taking six bottles of this remedy I
can recommend it as one of the best medicines
to build up the system. I am now enjoying
good health.”
Torpid liver and constipation are surely
and speedily cured by Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant
Pellets. They never gripe. They regulate,
tone up and invigorate the liver, stomach
and bowels. No substitute urged by mer
cenary dealers is as good.
